In July, Cumberbatch commented for the first time on the US adaptation. Despite suggesting the series would be "great", he expressed reservations over the casting of a woman as Watson:
“If I were the [producer], I’d be frightened of the dynamic of male friendship that you’d lose. Because that is obviously the bedrock of the books as well. There might be sexual tension between Joan [Watson] and Sherlock."
Elementary will premiere on CBS on September 27. It will be shown in the UK on Sky Living, but the dates of broadcast are yet to be confirmed.
Cumberbatch is currently appearing in the BBC's adaptation of Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End.
